I feel like Mousey still probably dislikes Pippa from her prior connection to Flamenco. And she REALLY hated Flamenco. Real question though, is Phase Connect really becoming so big that they could collab with some of the biggest vtubers?
Not sure what this has to do with anything. Pippa is on good terms with Flam but other than that he is just a fan.
Yeah lmao I'm not sure Pippa would really vibe well with a twitch based audience anyway, entirely different mindsets between twitch and YouTube viewers these days.
And while idk about the others I do know Mouse has a long history of doing collabs with vtubers both bigger and especially smaller in numbers than her. She doesn't seem to get to do it as much as back when she was indie but yeah if it was someone like Tenma who could resist the urge to tell twitch chat to do a flip in minecraft, I think she'd go for it especially since Tenma already has reach with Nagzz. And I'd have to do homework but there's a non-zero chance she's already collabed with one or more of the others in a previous incarnation of themselves.
(Searches "ironmouse+dumplingshirara)
Whenever she pops up in Nagzz or in Koe's stream everyone there loves her. When she popped up in Asmongold's stream she got a fairly positive reaction from chat too. Would Pippa be up to it and do it without dropping spaghetti all over the place?
As for Tenma, I do think she is way more "safe" when it comes to not only interacting with Mouse but also with any possible yabs that the audience might try to dig up to cancel her for. Mouse's audience is really big and she has a nice chunk of twittards that will bitch and moan over everything and anything. Hell, they gave her shit for saying a Harry Potter joke. Another positive thing is that Tenma has also interacted with people that have huge followings like the OfflineTV adjacent people.
Shinri just near cried on stream from all the memberships which prompted to talking about how when he reached "30" (I think this is his "canon" age, but probably close enough to his real life) he said to himself that he should become effectively a normie wagie and buckle down, but he took "a risk" (I presume this was becoming Lex Parte) and now he is realizing that his risk is fully paying off with all the support he is getting.
He couldn't even look at chat while telling this story to avoid actually crying.
Edit: Shinri is talking further about his past, his family has some kind of tradition (maybe a family business?) that was forced onto him which is probably why he mentioned being forced to be stoic and not express his emotions. He is talking as if his parents were foreigners and he had to pretty much act as a translator, he uses lore friendly terms in this story to masquerade it but he pretty much is saying something akin to "I had to translate from English to my native language". Guy has been sniffling for the past hour.
He explains how the reason why he is such a "dad" and acts like one is because he has been acting like one for a significant part of his life.
Did we ever get a confirmation of his roommate's identity? I'm betting that he's probably Chinese because that sounds asian as fuck. Honestly, I am glad for him. Honestly, I am a huge sucker for stories like this (hell, it's what made Vesper such an endearing streamer).
EDIT:
A lot of PC fans don't want the talent near that company though. It's not just solely a Henri thing by the way. Nobody wants to see Pippa turn into the next pink cat.
What you might find are a lot of PC viewers tend to be people who got sick of the likes of vshitshow ruining vtuber culture and all the other reasons they are disliked.
I'm all for getting more exposure to the PC talent but not through vshojo stuff. And I think even they realise it'd be a death wish.
PC people hate Pink Cat and Vei and there is a group of people that hate Froot (I am not sure if in Froot's case, there is much overlap with PC). For the most part Melody, Silvervale, Ironmouse, and Kson are well received. People just hate the brand but not the talents themselves. Additionally, if this somehow opens the door for Pippa to interact with Kson I am all for it since she has looked up to her for quite some time. Henry and the schizos like him can go suck a dick.
Honestly, Birdboy's karaoke was on another level. Sometimes his pronunciation was kinda meh due to ESL/accent but holy shit that was a strong stream. Felt almost like a fucking concert.
